1 Semester AY 2006-2007

Exam 2 August 9, 2006 6 – 8 pm

This is a closed notes, closed books exam. Write your name, section, and instructor’s name
on the upper right hand side of each page. Write on only one side of your answer sheets.
All scribbles at the back of your answer sheet will not be checked. Use only black or blue
ballpen. Write your complete solution. Be sure to indicate all units and box your final
answers. The checker reserves the right to disregard solutions that are incomprehensible
and/or illegible. Cheating will not be tolerated. Good luck!

Problem 3. Write your solutions in PINK answer sheets.

Checker : MALQUISTO

An inductive load (ZL) is connected to a 220 Vrms source through an ideal transformer with a
turns ratio of 2:1. The load draws 6 A of current at a lagging power factor of 0.9333.

a) What is the operating voltage of the load? (7 points)

b) What is the equivalent impedance seen by the voltage source? (7 points)
c) How much current is drawn from the source? (7 points)
d) What is the real power delivered by the source? Reactive power? (7 points)
e) If you were asked to buy a transformer to be used for this load at the specified source
voltage, what should be the minimum volt-ampere power rating of the transformer
that you should buy? (4 points)
f) How many ZL’s placed in parallel can be safely supplied through an ideal 2:1
transformer with a volt-ampere rating of 5,000 VA? (3 points)
